Castle of the Winds is a Windows based graphical adventure game. While still in the early stages of development, enough of the game is implemented to make a great waste of time. The current object of the game is to explore the dungeons below the city, killing the foul monsters that lurk there, and gathering the money and magical treasure to be found. You are on a quest to retrieve the Crown of Storms, a potent artifact to be found on the deepest level of the dungeon. Castle of the Winds is loosely based on Dungeons and Dragons, and draws much inspiration from such character based adventure games as Larn, Rogue, and Moria. The Windows graphical interface, however, provides the opportunity for a much richer game
Build 0.5.4A
------------
This version will load 0.5.4 files.
Two Bug Fixes:
1. Phase Door no longer risks a UAE. I had a signed/unsigned conversion
error in my limit checking, and it was letting you jump outside the
dungeon!
2. Exit, Prompt for Save, Say Yes, now correctly exits after the save.
Note: Name your character Hawkwind to enable the Debug menu!
